Sword Fighting

My name is Joe Mzalendo. Mine country is Credonia, a third-world country. Born and raised here, I loved my country just like every other patriotic citizen. As I grew up, all I ever wanted was a good degree and a good job with the government. All that I looked forward to so that I could help others and see to it that things went the right way. I had a dream of transforming my country through fighting and nipping Corruption by the roots. I thought getting in was the right move and the only way to make a change. In the end, I was all wrong. I found myself imprisoned by powers I couldn't control and forces I could not break. Without options, I watched people suffer as I did nothing. It was a stab through my heart. I had to live with the knife through my heart and in pain. It was either that and try to help those I could or die. I not only walked with death but saw it most of the time. It was then that I learned; some things are better done from a distance. I learnt never to put out a conflagration from inside a blazing house.

Ares Valen was an ordinary man—until a lightning storm tore reality apart and hurled him into another world. He wakes up inside the dying body of a forgotten prince on a collapsing frontier: a barren desert, starving civilians, half-orc raiders, berserk tribes, and warlords fighting over the last scraps of land. Death closes in from every direction. Then a familiar voice echoes in his mind: “Rome: Total War system initialized.” The world changes. With this strange power, Ares can summon Roman legions, build ancient cities, unlock divine blessings, and command armies that grow stronger after every victory. As the chosen War Priest of Jupiter, he gains divine skills, awakens legendary commanders, and turns a dying settlement into a rising force feared across the frontier. But enemies are everywhere— dark mages, barbarian clans, forgotten gods, and kingdoms long fallen into ruin. In the shadows, something ancient begins to stir again… the same force that once destroyed this land. Aretian has only one path left: Rise. Conquer. Survive. And forge a new Rome in a world that has never known its might. War. Strategy. Divine power. A legend begins at the edge of the desert.

When the Cosmic System took over Earth humans were suddenly divided into a power hierarchy. The top people gained abilities like pyromancy and assassination taking over the new world. Meanwhile, Creed got a weaker power becoming a D-Rank Handyman. He was seen as not important. Was betrayed by the strongest fighting groups. They left him to fend for himself in an area that was falling apart. But the powerful people forgot something about the end of the world: everything eventually stops working. As the world around him got worse Creed got really desperate. This desperation caused a problem in the system. His ordinary repair skill turned into something stronger called Over-Repair. With Over-Repair Creed did not just fix broken things; He made them work better, than before by adding system data. He even turned broken metal into very valuable items. Now as the world becomes more poisonous and the elites' strong weapons start to break they will have to beg the person they tried to kill. Creed is not just staying alive in a world that is ending. He is making a world and he is the only one who knows how to survive. Will Creed save them?

Joshua Reed gave everything to the woman he loved. For six years, he worked himself to the bone, fed her family, built their home, and sacrificed every dream for their happiness. In return, they betrayed him. His wife cheated with the man she called her cousin. Her family treated him like a slave. And when the apocalypse came, they murdered him for the shelter he built with his own hands. But death isn't the end. Joshua wakes up 15 days before doomsday with all his memories intact, and a legendary Doomsday Shelter System. This time, he divorces his treacherous wife, claims a $100 million fortune, and begins constructing the strongest shelter on Earth. As toxic rain falls, monsters evolve, and civilization collapses, survivors will beg for a place behind his walls. His ex-wife thinks she's fighting for half his fortune. She has no idea that, when the world ends, money won't buy food, safety, or a second chance. Only Joshua's shelter can. And the people who betrayed him? They'll discover that the greatest punishment isn't death... It's being left outside when doomsday begins.

In his past life, Maximus Cobain was the world’s foremost actuarial statistician and a pathological completionist gamer. He didn’t read people; he read numbers, probabilities, and patterns. When a fatal accident transmigrates his consciousness into the brutally battered body of a debt-slave in the martial-ruled Sun-Forged Empire, Maximus wakes up in a world where physical strength is the only law. There is no magic here. No gods. No mystical energy. Only Somatic Mastery—the grueling, scientific peak of human biomechanics, breath control, and lethal martial arts. With his brain struggling to process the trauma of transmigration, Maximus’s mind fractures and rebuilds reality into the only framework he understands: a video game. He possesses no magical AI and no supernatural cheat. Instead, his savant-like intellect constructs a mental "Heads-Up Display"—gamifying his reality, calculating the physics of a punch, charting the biochemistry of herbs, and breaking down elite martial arts into grindable "Skill Trees." He will survive the fighting pits. He will climb the ranks of the martial nobility. He will exploit the physics of this brutal world to the absolute limit. Maximus Cobain is going to reach the apex of human evolution, and he is going to do it exactly as he pleases.

Alan Walker returned home after four years serving as a captain in the elite Advanced Tactical Command, expecting to reunite with the woman he sacrificed everything for. Instead, he is met with betrayal. Lucia, the wife he left behind, has moved on and married the wealthy and influential Michael Fletcher. Humiliated and pressured into signing divorce papers, Alan becomes the laughingstock of high society. What no one knows is that Alan is far more than a forgotten soldier.

Rather than seeking revenge openly, Alan begins dismantling the corrupt network surrounding Lucia’s family and Michael Fletcher through calculated moves and hidden influence. As his plans unfold, Alan crosses paths with Hazel Hades, a strong-willed heiress fighting to escape an arranged marriage. Their contract marriage begins as a strategic alliance, but together they soon become an unstoppable force against the ruthless elites standing in their way. In a world driven by power, greed, and betrayal, Alan Walker is about to prove that the man everyone underestimated is the most dangerous one of all.

He can’t see the dark. But the dark can see him. When a cosmic eclipse rips humanity’s shadows away, they don't just vanish...they hunt. Across the vertical concrete jungle of New York City, billions of detached silhouettes are slaughtering their owners, stepping into their skin to become hollow, malevolent Mimics. For Zyrus Miranda, a blind martial arts master, the apocalypse is just another Tuesday. Immune to the psychological terror paralyzing the sighted world, Zyrus navigates the pitch-black ruins through pure vibration and lethal precision. Together with Dixy Alvarez, a fierce, quick-witted parkour instructor who becomes his eyes in the chaos, Zyrus builds an underground resistance, teaching survivors how to fight blind to survive. But Zyrus’s greatest battle isn't with the monsters outside...it’s with his own rogue shadow. In a breathless, pitch-black alley duel, Zyrus’s iron will achieves the impossible: he subdues his shadow, forcing it into a symbiotic, weapon-shifting duo. Now, with a lethal shadow-partner bound to his carbon-fiber staff and Dixy fighting at his side, Zyrus must launch a vertical assault up One World Trade Center to shatter the cosmic core. The light is fading. Can a blind man guide humanity out of eternal darkness?

What if I told you that they were right? That Bigfoot, The Abominable Snowman, The Loch Ness monster and yes, even The Boogey man were actually real? What if I told you your parents were right when they told you that there are monsters and demons that lurked in the shadows at night? I have seen those monsters, through visions of prophecy and none have baffled me more than The Marauder and The Supremes. Beings even Science could not explain, creatures that held godlike power for so long and walked among us as both oppressors and at times, as saviors. This is one such prophecy I had that I had to put on paper. Call it a story if you wish (it would actually make me feel less crazy). But this is the story of Brendan Payne; the sixteen year old high school boy who went from a regular teenager to finding out that he was not human but instead was born into a race of beings that were believed to be the final and perfect stage of evolution. And by finding out his destiny, Brendan is torn between fighting for the humans who resented him and joining forces with the callous yet beautiful witch, Finch, who claims to have his best interests at heart. This...is The Legend Of Marauder
